 The black cloud rolled over the sky, scars of yellow 

lightning, streaking down with his loyal companion- 

the rain. The ride started to get bumpy; I heard the 

unnerving rain pattering on the roof of the plane. Like 

a fever, the plane started to splutter, a heatwave of 

panic drove across the room. 

  There was an explosive WHOOSH sound as the plane 

drooped, forfeiting against the ferocious storm of black 

clouds. I hid in an enclosed room, where I could easily 

evade the obstacles rolling everywhere. 

  My throat could partially exert a scream as we hit the 

ground, with full force. I did not know what to do, 

either to take the risk of going outside and staying 

here… forever.

I was once, a scientist, but now, I was no more than a 

crippled scientist with a crippled dream. This accident 

was a fatal fault in my investigation, to unfold and prize 

the knowledge that Earth concealed, this could’ve been 

the end, but I decided to get up.

  I slid through the door outside, I gaped in pain as a 

wound was slit open by the sharp debris. Like a red 

comet, blood started leaking out. I scanned the horizon 

with my eye, attempting to identify any unexpected 

presence. Merely trees, among trees, among trees. 

 The searing, sizzling, shining, spectacular sun blazed with 

ferociousness, scorching my skin to the bone. I meandered 

along the concealed paths that lead along to the central forest. 

I saw the luscious lemons overhanging the trees, neglected in 

overgrowth. 

  I look ahead at the shimmering, shiny swamp radiating its 

brilliance in the reflection of the sun, littered with lily pads. I 

glance ahead once more, seeing trees dangling blueberries 

from their outstretched arms. An excruciating rumble 

resonated from my stomach at the presence of berries. 

  The only question I had lingering in my mind was if the 

berries were poisonous. My question was immediately 

answered as a bulky, beautiful birdy swooped down into a dive 

and plucked a berry out of the trees graciously. My hunger 

was immediately vanquished as I yanked a couple of berries 

from the tree. 

I continued to lumber along the path, watching the monkey 

and birds swinging joyously along the trees, chirping and 

hooting their gracefully and harmonious songs. Suddenly, 

sense had come back to reality when I saw a pair of piercing 

black eyes, shimmering in the blackness, like a radiating like a 

ruby in the darkest place possible. They grew bigger… and 

bigger… reproaching me like air. I looked down to see those 

shiny dagger-like claws shining like scythes at every approach. 

Once last foul smell of its breath, I swear, would have 

suffocated me. I made a run for it, this was when a mad 

pursuit commenced. I was like a fish, being chased by a shark. 

I was useless, and didn’t know where I was going.  

I came to a cliff’s edge, by breath hoarse, my head, swinging 

and my heart was like a drum on fire.
